I'm not sure if this is related in anyway to your problem. I use MSI
K8T
(with VIA K8T800Pro chipset) and there seems to be very strict rules
on
how to arrange the memory modules in order to get 400MHz. There are
four
slots on board and they are referred as channel A (slots 1&2) and
channel B (slots 3&4).

If I use double side memory modules, they have to be inserted in slots
1
and 3 to get DDR400. If I install them into slots 1 and 2, I only get
DDR333.


On the Asus A8V there are 4 slots 2 blue and 2 black near the processor
like that:

Processor Blue(A1) Black(A2) Blue(B1) Black(B2)

They are called A1 A2 B1 B2 in this order

The blue slots have to be used first
DIMM with more than 18 chips arent supported

If you use only one DIMM, slot B1 should be used
If you use 2 DIMM, in dual channel mode, B1 and A1 should be used, they have to be identical (better matched)

each pair must have the same CAS

They don't tell if you can use 3 DIMM ... In this case, if allowed, you probably run in single channel.

For example, I use one matched pair  twin 512 = 1024 in the blue slots
